Never to look back Why do I not get a second chance for my happily ever after?
Christopher only planned to take a quick look and leave but his legs seemed to be rooted to the ground. Unaware, Emile and Abbey continued with their heart to heart. “Daniel searched everywhere for Michelle without any luck. He didn’t give up until he came home one night a month later, worn out and drunk; I still remember that night” Emile sniffed as she recalled the heartache she felt when she saw the man she loved with all her heart, pinning over another woman.” “What happened that night?” Abbey couldn’t control her gossipy curiosity. “Nothing of the sort that you imagined with your overimaginative brain.” Emile scoffed before continuing. “That night, I took care of him.” Emile shrugged as she gave Abbey a simple explanation. “We started getting along well with each other after that.” Emile smiled at the distant memory and spoke in a daze “It was like we were getting to know each other and were beginning to fall in love.” “He would bring me flowers when he returned from work; s

Christopher had no idea of the torture she had been through. She had merely glossed over it the last time she opened up to him. He had no idea what they talked about after they discussed about the results of confronting Daniel with the truth. He couldn’t get through the fact that, that bastard had hurt his treasure time and time again.Christopher jumped back into his balcony in a daze. He didn’t want to hand his treasure back to such a bastard. He had to re-think what he was going to do. He went back to his room to unpack. He was packed and ready to leave after taking a quick glance at her. He didn’t want his presence to pressure her into making a decision she would regret.Christopher wasn’t the only one eavesdropping. Night Wing was also standing guard outside Emile’s door, but he couldn’t hear what they were saying clearly. However, the sound of the two women crying seemed to stab an unknown place in his chest especially the sound of that crazy woman crying. He never knew the craz

The scene that entered Night Wing’s eyes as he entered the room was Christopher was unpacking his bag. In the eyes of the beholder, the difference between packing and unpacking would be based on their perspective. Night Wing froze for a minute before opening his mouth “Boss…”“Order lunch for us as well.” Christopher chuckled seeing the normally indifferent Night Wing’s face alternating with the colours of the rainbow.“Boss…” Night Wing didn’t know what to make of his Boss’s current mood.“Don’t stand there stunned like an idiot.” Christopher walked forward and tapped his shoulder with a smile “Otherwise even I would have to doubt if Abbey’s assumption of buy 1 get 1 free was correct.”Night Wing turned to look at Christopher in a daze for a second before scratching the back of his head in embarrassment and turning to look if anyone else saw his embarrassment, more importantly if the crazy woman saw…. Christopher could hold any longer and laughed loudly.“Boss how did you know that I

Emile and Abbey leaned against the back of the sofa in the lounge room without any regard for their appearance hugging their bloated tummies in bliss.“Ahaa…. My stomach is going to burst. I am not eating for another month.” Abbey mumbled dishonestly although she had a happy smile on her face.“Thanks Abbey” Emile turned to look at Abbey and smiled. Abbey responded by smiling, blinking her eyes.“So” Abbey opened her mouth after holding it in for a while “I know it is not my place to say anything…..”“You can say anything to me…” Emile smiled as she turned to face Abbey. She could guess what Abbey wanted to say looking at the constipated expression.“Do you think you need to give Christopher an explanation?” Abbey wrinkled her forehead “I mean do you think it is fair on him?”“I owe him a lot more than an explanation….” Emie’s voice staggered into a whisper “But I just don’t know how….. this…. Everything is a lot more complicated now.”“I don’t see it that way.” Abbey shook her head “

Mossel bay airfield was well lit up although the sun was yet to come out. The staff didn’t know who the guests that were about to arrive were, but that didn’t affect their enthusiasm in the slightest. Officials swiftly organized themselves to receive the aircraft even though they received the order at short notice. All they knew was that the arriving guests could not be offended. 2 small sized private jets landed in Mossel Bay airfield in the wee hours of the morning. Although it was the wee hours, the small airport was bustling with activity and curiosity. Who were the people that were about to alight?However, the people who alighted didn’t seem to be affected by their curiosity nor the fuss. An elderly yet dignified couple followed by 4 couples, a middle-aged lady and a young lady alighted from the jets and passed through without any of the unusual demands or fuss.The only unusual thing if any was that the pilots of the aircrafts didn’t log off at the airport but followed the fam

“Ahem… ahem…” Adam cleared his throat and gave Christopher a look prompting him to speak.“Dad, this is Emile.”“I am not senile yet.” Adam snorted as he sat back.“Son, we know she is Emile.” Elizabeth pursed her lips that were curling up as she added in ridicule “I don’t think we can forget even if we turn senile after hearing it for the past ten years.”Emile lowered her head. She wished she could dig a hole and disappear; the giggling sounds of her to-be- sisters-in-law weren’t making her feel any better.“We know she is Emile. We know that you love her. We know that she didn’t like you.” Ericson took the baton for teasing from his parents.“We know that she is now divorced, and you threw all the big and small work at me, drowning my life and ran away from home.” Mark too joined in the fun.“…..and made the already non-existent time with our dad for me and my siblings disappear.” Miles jumped in to say his 2 cents worth as well.“Stop teasing” Veronica laughed “Otherwise the girl

Mark called for the waiters to bring breakfast over once everyone moved on from the sensitive topic of discussion. The staff arrived promptly and started serving a sumptuous breakfast. Everyone including Darcy started eating without waiting for Eva and Amanda to get back; It would be more apt to say that no one missed them.“How long are you staying?” Christopher asked once breakfast was out of the way.“If you are getting married within the week. We will stay back.” Elizabeth had a naughty smile on her face before it faded and she pouted with a sad expression “If not, we will leave in the afternoon.”Christopher rolled his eyes at his mom’s pathetic acting, but the truth was gullible Emile fell for it.“Auntie why don’t you stay back for at least a day or two?” Emile tried to persuade “Won’t it be tiring to travel without resting?”Elizabeth pursed her lips with a feigned difficult expression.“I need to talk to my folks… I cannot get married without their blessing this time; I have

“What so funny?” Emile and Christopher walked in as Abbey was laughing her head off.“Boss” Night Wing stood up with a curious expression.“Mom and Dad are here with the rest.” How could Chrsitopher not know what Night Wing wanted to ask.“What?” Abbey’s mouth was open wide, enough to fit a golf ball. She turned to look at Emile anxiously but relaxed after seeing her carefree attitude. “How was it?”“They are very nice.” Emile smiled.“So???????” Abbey dragged the syllable by raising her eyebrows in a taunting manner.“We are officially together.” Emile smiled happily as she held Christopher’s hand contrary to his expectation. Christopher thought that Emile would be shy and was ready to make the announcement, but he didn’t get the chance. Emile stole his thunder…... Even so, his face lit up like a 1000-watt bulb.“Wow!!” Abbey cheered as she jumped up and hugged Emile. She was so happy…. Happy that Emile could have her happily ever after.“What next?” Abbey asked after their emotions

Chris and Emile made their way through the reception hall, toasting guests at each table, in the order of the closeness of their relationship. Adrian, Neil and Night Wing took their roles seriously as they blocked the drinks for Chris. Emile had her supply of fruit tea that Abbey religiously re-filled for her; No one knew why, nor did they think much into it as this was Chris Jnr’s arrangement.Chris and Emile had just reached the table where Grandpa Holston was seated when Chris Jnr slowly stood up from his seat and walked towards them, holding little treasures hand. The rest, along with Bruno in the lead followed with excitement as they knew that the fun Emm mentioned before was about to start.“Thank you for coming and blessing our special day with your presence.” Chris raised the toast towards Ron and the rest; he didn’t even spare Grandpa Holston a glance. It was not in his nature to grin and bear grievances.“It was our pleasure.” Several associates including Ron hurriedly joine

Chris and Emile moved to the cake-cutting event with the reminder from little treasure. Cake cutting had a little twist, contrary to the norm where the bride and groom feed each other with the first cut, Emile fed the piece she took to Little treasure while Chris fed Big treasure before letting the two treasures feed them.Although it wasn’t planned and neither big treasure nor little treasure were ready for the surprise, both husband and wife knew each other’s thoughts the moment they looked at each other; they didn’t need to plan or coordinate for such flawless action. The action from the duo that followed also wasn’t planned nor coordinated, it was their norm, the duo would always feed daddy and mommy with their little hands in reciprocation from when they were old enough to grasp things.While the shadow guards took it upon themselves to deliver cake to each and every individual that attended the reception, Chris and Emile personally hand delivered the ones for family and relative

Once all the guests were seated comfortably according to their table arrangement leaving the seats in the front vacated for family, Augusta as the coordinator for the wedding, announced the entry of the bride and groom, in all its grandeur while the DJ set the background scores for the romantic entry of the bride and groom.Emile’s favorite symphony floated through the air as she and Chris made their grand entrance, once again wearing a couple set; they had changed out of their traditional wedding attire they wore in the morning to a champagne-colored gown and suit. They walked in, Emile holding onto Chris’s arm with a blissful smile, like a pair of immortals strolling through the mortal realm as they walked through the hall to the center, followed by their little tails also wearing a mini version of their set. The adorable little dolls had their heads held high, a proud smile hanging on their faces as they followed in their parents’ footsteps.The bridal entourage followed behind wit

Everyone went back to their rooms to rest and change before the reception banquet, which was also the continuation of the wedding extravaganza with no expense spared. With all the guests housed in Royal Lux, the hotel was closed to outside business, other than the ones that had a pre-booking and couldn’t be changed to another date.“Where’s Christian?” Daniel turned to question Ceilier as soon as he reached their room; It was not that he didn’t notice that Christian wasn’t with them, but the truth of the matter was that he didn’t get a chance till now.“He went off with the Walters.” Ceilier twisted his lips awkwardly as he replied in a low voice.“That bastard…” Daniel gritted his teeth as he muttered under his breath before turning his attention to Emile. He waved his hand, instructing Ceilier to step down before walking up to Emile and taking a seat facing her.“What’s wrong?” Emile asked in concern as she saw Daniel staring at her with knitted brows.“Nothing ….” Daniel shrugged b

“Senior Master Walter, the ride for returning to the hotel is ready.” One of the shadow guards from the team who were assigned to the Walters and Burkes announced as he stood respectably by Adam’s side.“Um…” Adam nodded as he took the treasures and Bruno with him “Lead the way.” Adam walked forward holding Big treasure and Bruno while Elizabeth held little treasure’s hand. No matter how uncomfortable she was, little treasure put on a brave smile and walked forward, as though she was heading for the gallows. Both Adam and Elizabeth feigned ignorance although they were laughing in their heads; she looked too adorable!Adam purposefully left Little treasure to Elizabeth’s care even though he knew that she would be uncomfortable. His intention was well meaning; to give them a chance to get to know each other better. He just didn’t expect the extent of aversion he saw in little treasure’s subtle actions; there was not just aversion but also fear mixed with guilt which Adam never expected;

The groom kissing the bride, captured in the backdrop of the rising sun, was too magical to say the least; Other than the younger generation of the Burke and Walter household who were causing a ruckus by whistling and cheering, all the other guests were mesmerized by the magical moment that was unfolding before their eyes.“Wow! That was so magical.” One of the guests exclaimed as she turned around with a dreamy expression, stretching her hands; no one could despise her excitement as this was the thought in the hearts of most of the people who came to attend the wedding; the finale of the wedding was too mesmerizing for even the most grounded and rationale minds.They would never forget this magical moment for the rest of their lives; the moment they witnessed nature proclaiming the fulfillment of a man’s undying affection and loyalty; the moment they witnessed the groom and his bride finally attaining their happily ever after, despite all the odds that fate had stacked against them.

“Mommy, you better take care of your man from here on…there's only so much a little girl can do…” Emm’s bell-like voice rang out as she advised seriously forgetting that her mouthpiece was still on “It was hard work, but we got him here for you.”Everyone burst out laughing as they heard the childish reprimand, leading Emm to wince in embarrassment as she hid behind her elder brother biting her tongue.“Uff….uff…” Chris Jnr cleared his throat like a little adult to attract everyone’s attention before he continued “As you have witnessed, our daddy’s journey to his happily ever after has been anything but smooth; whether it was our mommy’s blindness to recognize his unwavering affection and love….”The laughter from the crowd continued while the bride shyly lowered her head, but not without glaring at the flower boy who suddenly became talkative. Emm didn’t have any solidarity with the bride as she covered her mouth and giggled.“or whether it was the judgmental eyes of the world around
Never to look back You could never do what he did…
“You could never do what he did…”“What did you say?” Daniel asked in shock; he had heard what she said even though it was a whisper; he just didn’t want to believe it. He didn’t want to believe that Emile had recovered her memory. If she didn’t why would she say that?“How can you arrange so many hot air balloons? Such an extravaganza wedding would need the coffers of the king opened.” Emile giggled as she turned around to face him.Daniel stared at her face for a long time trying to make sense, trying to discern if what she said was purely based on the wedding arrangement or whether there was a hidden meaning in them. But before he could process this line of thought, the ceremonial bells rang leading everyone to take a closer look at the hot-air ballon in the center. Although it was one that could hold 35 people, there were currently only about 25 people including the celebrant and his assistant.“That is actually a priest not a celebrant.” One of the guests in Daniel’s basket, who h
Never to look back We will set everything right after this wedding.
Almost all the guests in the hotel woke up in the wee hours of the morning as they had all arrived to participate in the youngest Walter’s wedding. All of them without exception were filled with excitement regardless of the reason for their excitement.No one knew the exact location of the venue, as other than the name, Church in the Sky, Mossel Bay, there were no details of how to get to the venue. All they knew or were told when they asked for location details was that transportation for them to be taken to the venue was arranged for everyone attending the wedding.Cars were lined up one behind the other, at the hotel entrance, picking up the guests as they arrived at the entrance and heading for the venue. Daniel, Emile and Christian lined up at the back of the line as they arrived.“What are you looking for?” Emile asked in confusion as she saw Daniel looking around.“Grandpa is here too. I was looking to see if he was around.” Daniel shrugged “He could come in the same car as us.
